Hussain provides a clear description of the IOT application growth in the farming
industries with proper justification. According to the author, IOT applications are the game
changer as it covers a large domain from data sensing to data analytics. Peoples are becoming
accustomed to daily activities being interconnected via smart devices to outside world. Author
describes the integration of core building blocks of IoT such as networking, communication,
processing and sensing (Hussain, 2017). This paper is an example of a good literatures where
several information related to the topic is explained with appropriate figures. This paper is
mainly focused on the IOT building models with emerging service and applications. The
emerging applications are widely described and compared with each other to evaluate the
effectiveness of this applications. This paper also provide useful insights about the internet of
thing application and how it can be adopted as a game changer in the farming industry. Readers
will understand the practical challenges of integrations, deployment and security and learn some
basic design principles in IoT.

Agriculture has been one of the most important industries in human history since it offer
necessary resources such as fiber, energy and most importantly food (Ryu et al., 2015). Firstly,

Author present a clear overview of agriculture industry with existing problems in the industry.
Then author describe the possible development by utilizing proper technologies. This paper also
presents a farming system which is connected with IOT technologies. The detailed design and
implementation process for connected farms are also illustrated with proper justification. Later,
the advantages of such technologies are described while compared with typical farms. This paper
also contains several figures associated with the IOT service platform in the farming. This
figures helps to understand the author approach. At last, author define and describes the service
scenario along with the advantages of connected farm-based smart farming systems. This paper
also provide useful insights about the internet of thing application and how it can be adopted as a
game changer in the farming industry.

This paper is mainly focused on the advancement of the internet of Things and possible
development through a large number of sensors data streams. Author describes the current status
of the IOT implementation for collect, process and analyze data streams in the real-time
(Kamilaris, Gao & Prenafeta-Boldú, 2016). According to the author, the smart solutions designed
to offer support and assist to make decision. Author identified that, the current development
process of the IOT is mainly analytics focusing on specific areas, providing stream processing
and domain-dependent. This paper also provide useful insights about the internet of thing
application and how it can be adopted as a game changer in the farming industry. The IOT
development in the farming have many external parameters such as regulation and weather
condition which have major influence on the IOT development in the farming industry. Author

also presents semantic framework for smart farming applications. Agri-IoT supports large-scale
data analytics and event detection, ensuring seamless interoperability among sensors, services,
processes, operations, farmers and other relevant actors, including online information sources
and linked open datasets and streams available on the Web.

farming through iot in silos. In The International Symposium on Intelligent Systems
Technologies and Applications (pp. 355-366). Springer, Cham.
This paper describes the smart farming practices and the utmost importance of economy
to ensure the development and growth and avoid issues like food insecurity, well-being and food
production rate. Author also describe the problem areas associated with conducting such
practices in small farms. Such is the case of expensive weighing machines for silos, while the
range of possibilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) could intensively reduce these costs while
connecting the data to intelligent Cloud services, such as smart feeding systems (Agrawal et al.,
2016). This paper also provide useful insights about the internet of thing application and how it
can be adopted as a game changer in the farming industry. This paper demonstrate IOT device
and a proper methodology to monitor quality and quantity of resources while estimating the
volume of the resources at several period along with the external factors. Author also showcase a
smart feeding system which was implemented through a virtual organization of agents. This type
of application can be used to provide optimal value to the framing industries. Author also
recommend certain practices which could be adopted by the firming industry to gain more
revenue.
